The Four Cs

Diamond Rarity

Diamond

At Helzberg Diamonds, we pride ourselves on having extremely strict standards for diamond quality - especially when it comes to the cut of our diamonds. We stand behind every diamond that goes into every piece of our jewelry, ensuring that it lives up to the standards we have upheld since 1915.

The basics of diamonds has always come down to the 4Cs - cut, color, clarity and carat weight.

Cut: The cut of a diamond affects how well a diamond returns light back to the viewer's eye. A well cut diamond will appear brilliant and fiery.

Color: A diamond's color is a measure of the stone's whiteness, meaning it is actually measuring the lack of color a diamond has.

Clarity: The clarity of a diamond refers to the presence (or lack) of imperfections. Generally, the more imperfections (or inclusions) a diamond has, the lower the clarity.

Carat Weight: A carat specifically measures a diamond's weight. Because of its rarity, one larger diamond is more valuable than a combination of smaller diamonds.

Ring is gorgeous but I've lost 3 diamonds in a year now and I don't even know how many have came loose. Definitely need the care plan or whatever its called so it doesn't cost to replace or tighten the diamonds.

I have small hands and so my one request from my now fiance was that my ring not be too gaudy. We had discussed getting married but I wanted the ring to be a surprise. I like things with a vintage flair and this ring nails it. There is nothing I would change. It is so beautiful, unique and the craftmanship really shows in the details. I'm using a ring guard with it and it showcases it even more. I could not be happier with this ring. It's perfect.

My experience at Helzburg was excellent. Our salesperson was very helpful! He explained what the 4 C's mean, and they even let us look at the ring under the microscope. My fiances father purchased rings there and they had a great experience as well. My ring sparkles so much and I get compliments all the time. As soon as I saw it this ring, I knew I had to have it! The pictures do not do justice, you must go to the store to look at their rings. I definitely recommend buying from Helzburg Diamonds.
